The body sections I and Ia are provided on their re maining or free longitudinal edges with spring catchesiandlaadaptedtoengagetheflat division member 6 to releasably secure the latter 40 in closing relation to the body sections 5 and to,

respectively. As shown, the division member 6 is preferably in the form of a mirror unit composed of a sheet metal frame having plain and magnifying mirilirorsiandaasecuredthereininsidebyside relation and on the side thereoi facing the body Thisbodysectioni is divided by a transverse partition wall- In into two compartments ii and lid, the compartment Ii having a 50 powder screen it removably fitted therein in spaced relation to the top and bottom thereof. Face powder is adapted to be placed in the compartment ii belowthescreen i2 asst l3,andsufncient space is left in the top of the compartment as above the screen I! to receive a powder put! swinging of the body section is to open position, the division member-6 being left in closing relation to the body section i as retained by the catch 8. This prevents passage of powder into the cigarette compartment afforded by the section 40 5a, and it will be seen that the device is extremely simple and compact in construction as well as extremely convenient to use. The division member 8 is in closing relation to both'sections 5 and 5a of the body when the parts 5, 5a and 6 are swung together and latched in contiguous relation as shown in Figures 2, -5 and 6. At this time, passage of tobacco into the powder pufi compartment or passage of powder into the cigarette compartment is efiectively prevented. Individual access to either section I or 5a is permitted without opening the other section.
